Have the commitinfo script have an entry for CVSROOT which runs a
script. The script returns a zero exit code when $USER is in the allowed
list and a non-zero code when $USER is not in the list.

Look at contrib/cvs_acls in a tree where you built cvs 1.11.17 for ideas or
https://ccvs.cvshome.org/source/browse/ccvs/contrib/cvs_acls.in?rev=HEAD
